Education and Inspiration through the ancient art of storytelling!
Spend an afternoon in the parlor of this consummate storyteller and poet as he shares tales of the Ojibwa. He lived among the American Indians in Northern Michigan in the early 1800’s. Schoolcraft was one of the first to make a comprehensive effort to collect folktales from the tribes he worked with. He also married a Chippewa woman and conducted extensive geological and natural history surveys of the region including an ecological survey of the Illinois Valley in 1834. He followed in the wake of Lewis and Clark and explored the lower region of the Louisiana Purchase. He also discovered and named Lake Itasca, the ‘true head’ of the Mississippi.
